B. CREATIVITY
Professor Thomas Taylor of Texas A & M recently conducted a fascinating test of the effects of floating on the learning and thinking.Taylor had tested subject groups to see which were visualizers and which were verbalizers, and concluded;“when the same learning records are analyzed on the basis of persons who are basically visualizers versus those who are primarily conceptualizers (non-visual thinkers), a greater degree of learning occurred in the visual than in the non-visual group.”
Taylor also noted that the float group appeared to visualize better than the non-float group, and produced significantly higher amounts of theta waves, which are known to be associated with strong mental imagery.
The floatation tank environment causes a person’s brainwaves to change from beta (wide awake and alert) to alpha to theta, which is associated with vivid imagery.This normally occurs in the 2nd half of an hour long float session so if it is your first time, you shouldn’t expect instant results.
We all experience theta, but most people fall asleep at the onset of it.
You’re probably familiar with the telltale sign of theta-vivid mental imagery even though you’re awake. The float tank provides a reliable means to achieve and sustain this beneficial state without the years of practice that is normally required by advanced meditators to achieve theta at will.
